4.00Very relaxing tour, very nice guide - Nico was wonderful. Smaller group than is typical for most tours which made it easier to ask questions. The guide gave us personal recommendations and even included photos from his childhood and his grandparents at some of the same locations we saw. Very cool.
Great value!

5.00Very interesting experience. Guide was very knowledgeable about Venice, especially the history part of it. Took you to areas that most tourists don’t see because they are not aware of this part of Venice.
